"None of this happened on his tenure – it's all under George," an anonymous Liberal told the Toronto Star, referring to former health minister George Smitherman, who held the job from 2003 until 2008.

In the case of diabetes writing, Deb Butterfield, author of "Showdown With Diabetes" wrote the following article in 1992, yet to me, it feels as if her words were never more true than they are today. What do you think?Perceptions vs. RealityBy Deb ButterfieldOriginal URL for this article:http://www.insulinfreetimes.org/itimesv600.htmPerceptions are often quite different from reality, yet perceptions wield enormous power. Diabetes is widely perceived to be a manageable condition. Most people believe that diabetics will live a full and normal life if they follow the rules of diabetes management. Yet the reality is that diabetes kills one American every three minutes, and every three minutes, four more are diagnosed. D...

Huang, Sydney E.S. Brown, Bernard G. Ewigman, Edward C. Foley, and David O. Meltzer, Diabetes Care 2007 30: 2478-2483.) suggests using reduction in hemoglobin A1c alone is really insufficient to evaluate how effective new treatments and treatment protocols are. Researchers from the University of Chicago have finally asked a question that clinicians have for too long ignored: treatment impacts perceived quality of life, too, and that impacts patient compliance. In essence, the researchers ...

She said she was very excited to catch up with old friends and for the opportunity to share her thoughts.
